HC Deb 03 March 1998 vol 307 c513W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those occasions on which the United Kingdom Government have raised the issue of enfranchisement of Gibraltarians in Europe since 1 May; and if he will make a statement. [32044]

Mr. Doug Henderson

As my hon. Friend knows, we well recognise the importance of this issue for Gibraltar; and have looked hard at the scope for change. Our approach, including in any contacts with other Governments, however, reflects the clarity of the legal advice on the issue.
